Directions
Arabic Honey Cake, Posted for ZWT6 – NA*ME Region – Found on a website dedicated to middle eastern recipes – mainly Kuwait Sounds delicious for sure!, This cake got rave reviews from my colleagues at work! It’s slightly unusual (in my part of the world) and delicious And was better this morning than when I made it last night The flavor is fantastic, and the sugar syrup caramelizes on the bottom and sides beautifully Just make sure you know what to expect from the texture–it’s a chewier, sort of granulated crumb that reminds me of a semolina cake Also, I want to clarify the instructions which I think may account for people’s experience of the syrup soaking to the bottom and the cake turning into a pudding, as the directions are not well-written on this part: you bake the cake 10-12 minutes, take it out, spoon HALF the syrup on the cake, bake it for 15-20 minutes, take it out, spoon the LAST HALF of the syrup on the cake, bake it for another 15-20 minutes The cake shrinks down to about a 1-inch height but the syrup didn’t pool at the bottom like some reviewers noted–it soaked the entire cake as it should have, but it got beautifully caramelized on the top and sides and did not collect too much on the bottom It sliced into pieces easily and help the shape for being eaten with hands Also, it says slivered almonds, but I recommend sliced (much prettier) I baked it for 10 minutes, then 15, then about 11, and it was perfect , Made this for the Let’s Go to Saudi Arabia game and loved it It had that honey-almond flavor I remember so well from when we lived in Saudi, very sweet and diffently NOT low calorie but oh so good In addition it’s so easy to make, I followed the directions exactly (though I think #8 might be a duplicate step) and had no problems at all It did cook faster in my stove – only 10 minutes until it was ready for the topping, but that was all I know I’ll be using this one again and again
